Product Description

Review

‘…explains how to build a structure without over–complicating it… a must for those trying to build an organization that works.’ (Management Today, January 2011).

‘…flawed thinking about the importance of top management talent is brilliantly exposed by Christopher Bones.’ (Director.co.uk, February 2011).

“excellent book… It is as telling as it is timely.”  (Director, February 2011).

Bones combines his dry humour with practical advice.’  (HR Magazine, April 2011).

‘…wonderfully forthright book .’  (Peoplemanagement.co.uk, May 2011).

′The Cult of the Leader’ stood out for me, as it is so relevant in the current climate and its analysis of the underlying causes of our current economic issues is the best I have seen.’ (Sir Anthony Cleaver, February 2012)

Product Description

A critical look at the way that business leadership has gone so badly wrong.

Modern business is obsessed with leaders.  We talk about leadership all the time, but its real meaning is becoming more and more obscure.  Recent corporate crises have shown that all too often, our leaders are missing in action when we need them most.  In this groundbreaking and provocative new book, Chris Bones shows how we need to:

  • Restore trust and confidence
  • Be more realistic about what leaders can and can’t do
  • Redefine talent
  • Revalue experience
  • Reconsider remuneration

Format:Hardcover
This book gives a great critique of leadership thinking in society today. The author challenges us to look at what we expect from our leaders, and the dangers of arrogant and egoic leadership. Very timely given the current economic difficulties around the world.

Chris Bones brings something very fresh to leadership theory, and has a very relevant view in these times of corporate greed. I have read a lot of books on leadership, but this one definitely stands out. It's easy to read, very well written, and convincing throughout.
